ichivivi20 Here's a photo that might help. Granite tiles are in place now. You can see the window on the left-hand side.

lowprofile In my opinion dark brown in a room which you are in when it is dark, would make it way to dark. Unless it is only one wall you are painting and the rest remains white.

lowprofile And it is also a very small window, so I would go for a lighter color.

hanhle Yellow colour will help brighten your room,also warm lighting and a few ( just a few ) dark colour furniture / decorating items can bring cozy effect.And why dont you try wall paper?I think wall paper is one of good choices for an elegance and charming decor.

rosiegabby I agree that brown is too dark for this room. When choosing a color consider what it will look like with incandescent or other lighting you will be using since you may have these lights on frequently when using the bedroom. I chose a creamy color for our living room but with incandescent light it looks yellow and since we have a light problem these lights are on most of the time.

ichivivi20 Thank you all for your input. Yes, dark brown is a good bedroom color, just not for this particular bedroom. I'll be having fluorescent lighting in my room, so the wall color will look pretty much the same in the day or at night. Yellow seems like such a cheery color! I'm considering it.

michigammemom If you like the idea of a chocolate brown for your bedroom, consider an accent wall like this inspiration room. Notice that light colored furnishings and bright accent colors are used to keep the room from looking cavelike.

ichivivi20 @michi: Ah, yes, like lowprofile suggested, only using chocolate brown on an accent wall. Thank you; the photo was enlightening!

Natalie Bue---yellow can be too stimulating in a bedroom. If you want to have yellow as an accent-fine.
Here is a pic for inspiration. As for the window, make it appear larger by hanging floor to ceiling panels on either side-see pic. Add a rug to warm up that granite floor(pic). Good Luck!

Dytecture Any 'soft' colors would be nice for a calm, relaxing bedroom.

ichivivi20 Again, thank you all for your thoughts! I used this nifty little program called the Sherwin Williams visualizer and saw that I liked sky blue best. It's just so relaxing when paired with white ceilings and light-colored floors.
